Does aurovela cause weight gain?

I just started on Aurovela for my birth control, and I'm very conscious about my weight. I wanted to know if Aurovela is known to cause weight gain as a side effect.

At this age, drinking water also seems to add a kilo, so blaming a pill is my favorite hobby! Hormonal pills like Aurovela can cause some fluid retention, making you feel a bit bloated. Just don't blame the poor pill entirely for those extra parathas we enjoy.

If you are concerned about side effects, instead of buying expensive weight loss supplements, just spend 500-600 rupees on a basic lipid and thyroid panel. It's a much more practical way to see if your metabolism is functioning properly while taking Aurovela.

Having PCOS makes me highly cautious about any hormonal pill and its effect on my scale. Aurovela can react differently depending on your body's hormone levels, so what causes weight gain for one might not do it for you. Be supportive of your body and work closely with your doctor.

If your doctor allows, maintaining a regular 30-minute brisk walk daily really helps combat any fluid retention from hormonal medications. Keeping your sodium intake slightly lower also works wonders in preventing that bloated feeling while on Aurovela.

My gynecologist explained that the estrogen component in Aurovela can cause some water weight gain, while the progestin might slightly increase your appetite. It rarely causes significant long-term fat gain. She advised me to monitor my dietary habits closely for the first three months.

It is quite common to worry about weight changes with these pills. For most women, it's just mild bloating in the first few weeks that settles down. Try to stay relaxed and let your body adapt to it.

Aurovela, like many birth control pills, can cause temporary water retention or increased appetite, which some confuse with actual fat gain. These side effects usually stabilize within 2-3 months. It's always best to consult your gynecologist to see if this specific formulation suits your body.
